moelikebeer (219), St. Paul, Minnesota, USA Dec 16, 2008 Cask at the brewpub. Pure black pour with a medium size brownish tan head. Faint aroma of chocolate and coffee. Rich milk chocolate flavor with definite notes of coffee and roasted malt. Smooth, creamy mouthfeel. tedovertu (259), Apple Valley, Minnesota, USA Dec 4, 2008 Updated: Jan 14, 2009Dark chocolate in the aroma with strong coffee mixed in. This is my first cask drawn poor. Pretty impressed. Extremely creamy head and body. Light sweet initial flavor with a slightly bitter finish. Average duration with a medium to full body. Creamy texture with soft carbonation. BDR (2139), Roseville, Minnesota, USA Apr 26, 2008 an excellent black body with foamy brown head nice anise chocolate coffee body smoother than hell. Nice dark roasted malt aroma. undsioux7 (553), Cologne, Minnesota, USA Sep 27, 2007 Pours black with aroma of coffee and chocolate. Taste is roughly the same, just more subdued. Nice. PGA324 (85), Savage, Minnesota, USA Feb 23, 2007 Very tasty. Very dark beer with excellent head and lacing. Sweet flaors and aromas. detroiter (958), Euphoria, Minnesota, USA Jan 27, 2007 Darker’n a black steer’s tookus on a moonless prairie night. There was no bottom. Maybe an inch or so of soft and foamy brown head. Pretty good ringlets of lace. Moderately sweet chocolate malt and some roasted grain in the aroma.
Flavors come through with lightly roasted grain (not harsh or overly bitter), a touch of sweet chocolate, and a medium-roast coffee. Nice blend of flavors, they seemed a perfect match for the smooth texture. Nothing overpowering, gently carbonated, medium bodied. Mellow, tasty, and satisfying. incutrav (576), Woodbury, Minnesota, USA Jan 26, 2007 Woooo, ol GW does it again. Had a couple of thesse last night. Nice malty flavor, great smell of coffee and coco, nice and thick and smooth, big foamy head too. Coupled with the fact that these were only 1.80 a pint during happy hour adds up to great things!
